Grand. |

Video from our non-major orchestra (which I don't normally play in, but sometimes I do for the fun of it), performing Malcolm Arnold's A Grand, Grand Overture that was composed for the premiere Hoffnung concert back in 1956.
It's basically making fun of the overture form, especially with additions like solo vacuums and floor polisher.
The great thing about this particular performance is that four of our music school professors are the guest "soloists" -- with their own vacuums  .
My viola professor, Roger Myers, is the vacuumer on the far right, in the tanktop.
The conductor is a grad student friend of mine, one of the assistant conductors for our symphony orchestra. I wish that watching this concert didn't make me think of how much I'm going to miss him once he graduates at the end of this semester  .
